Do you ever get stuck behind someone at the grocery store who’s decided to prepare for an apocalypse? Today I went down to buy a loaf of bread and got caught in a line for over twenty minutes – and there was only one other person in it! This highly valued customer watched as a teenage girl laboriously scanned half the grocery store. She finally came to the last item and requested payment. At this point in proceedings I was completely unconcerned. The supermarket is a great place for people watching; I was actually quite enjoying myself. I didn’t catch the exact figure but I imagine it was in the tens of millions. Not until this prompt did the customer consider monetary reimbursement. There was a look of surprise. A hand drifted slowly into a bag and searched around for a purse. It must’ve been at least two minutes before a card was finally handed over to the patient teenager. Seriously, we’d been standing there for the better part of a half an hour with absolutely nothing to do. A little foresight could’ve saved us all a few minutes.
